It is the angle of the trowel, and the pressure applied, that result in the textured appearance unique to SkimStone. The trowel also helps to ensure that the SkimStone goes down in very thin coats. Other tools can certainly be used in applying SkimStone, such as brushes, rollers, or sponges. The final appearance and textures will vary with each application technique, as will coverage rates.

The archaeologist digs in squares as part of an effort to control the progress of an excavation. Digging a site destroys it, so archaeologists are careful to keep good records of where they dig. The squares follow the reference grid for a site, allowing good horizontal and vertical control. It would also be possible to work in triangles, circles, or hexagons, but squares are the easiest to keep track of and map.

We have completed exposure tests with SkimStone using a spa and hot tub sanitizer containing a chlorine concentrate. Our results indicate that exposure will cause some of the SkimStone colors to fade over time. Consequently, we do not recommend using SkimStone as a decorative finish for chemically treated pools. Note: When using SkimStone on pool surrounds, we recommend that no more than two coats of Protective Sealer be applied.

SkimStone is formulated for application over concrete floors. Good adhesion has been achieved over a wide variety of materials but bare concrete is the only recommended substrate for SkimStone floors.

Some people prefer leaving small cracks and incorporating them into the overall design. However, if you're not one of those people, you can use the SkimStone to fill small imperfections in the floor by mixing it to a consistency of patching compound. Use a putty knife to fill the holes or cracks and allow to dry for 24 hours before applying the first coat of SkimStone. Note: Do not fill in expansion joints with SkimStone.

Each SkimStone coat goes down paper-thin. A common misconception is that since SkimStone is a hybridized cement product, it should be applied in thick coats. It is the process of applying 2-3 very thin coats with a trowel that creates the textured appearance unique to SkimStone. Holding the trowel at an angle and applying pressure will help ensure even, thin coats. The total application of 3 coats of SkimStone and 4-5 coats of Protective Sealer will be less than 1/32" on a concrete floor!

A SkimStone surface sealed with 4-5 coats of Protective Sealer is about as slippery as a finished hardwood floor. An unsealed surface will be similar to that of unsealed concrete.

SkimStone is a hybridized Portland cement, so it is very durable. Over time, you may notice wear areas developing in the seal coat. A periodic reapplication of SkimStone Protective Sealer will keep your floor beautiful and protected. In light commercial or high traffic areas, a final application of wax or polish may be used as the sacrificial wear coat. It is imperative that SkimStone be allowed to breathe when applied outdoors.

SkimStone is a decorative finish for concrete and may be used for both interior and exterior applications. The only difference between interior and exterior use is that we recommend using no more than two thin coats of SkimStone Protective Sealer for exterior applications. This will help to "pop", or develop, the color but still allow the surface to breathe and prevent moisture from being trapped under the Sealer.

SkimStone can be used on laminate counter tops that have first been coated with SkimStone Bonding Primer. The Bonding Primer provides inter-coat adhesion plus a textured surface to promote high-adhesion with the SkimStone topcoat.

While formulated specifically for concrete, SkimStone will work on painted or unpainted walls. A finished look similar to Venetian Plaster can be achieved without all the burnishing. However, don't forget that you're working with a cement based product. When applying SkimStone to a vertical surface it can be quite messy - and special care must be taken to protect your eyes from accidental contact with the material.

SkimStone can be used on fireplace surrounds and hearths, essentially anywhere it would be okay to use latex house paint. The radiant heat from the fireplace will not affect the SkimStone or the Protective Sealer. However, SkimStone nor Protective Sealer are heat resistant and are not acceptable anywhere high temperatures or direct flame will be common.

Each coat of SkimStone takes between 30 minutes to 2 hours to dry, depending on the temperature and humidity. The final coat of SkimStone must be allowed to dry 8 hours prior to applying the first coat of sealer. Drying time for each coat of Protective Sealer also ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Full hardness of the SkimStone surface is achieved after 7-10 days. Note: Using SkimStone in direct sunlight can accelerate the dry time, making it difficult to spread in a large area.

Previously sealed or painted concrete must be taken to bare concrete by grinding or shot blasting. A diamond grinder is the preferred method. This will promote maximum adhesion of SkimStone to the concrete. After removing the old coatings make sure the surface is clean, then pour approximately 1 tablespoon of water on the surface. If the concrete changes color and absorbs the water, it will accept SkimStone.

We've done a series of Hot Tire Pick-Up tests in our lab with excellent results, i.e., no pick-up. However, the SkimStone Protective Sealer (a pure waterborne urethane coating) can be penetrated by anti-freeze and some automotive fluids so drips and spills must be promptly wiped up. Garage floors are typically very smooth and sealed to prevent dusting, which makes them easier to keep clean.

Our site testing has indicated that SkimStone, when applied as recommended, is unaffected by freezing temperatures or temperature changes. However, SkimStone will not prevent your concrete slab from cracking, and cracks in the slab may telegraph through the SkimStone.

Gently apply and coat the skin surface with Penetran around your area of pain. Make sure you apply this pain-neutralizing rub to an area wider than your affected area of pain. Wait for about 10 seconds to give Penetran a chance to penetrate deep into your swollen, inflamed, achy joints. Then rub the area gently until the gel disappears. You should feel the pain almost immediately decrease. Most people feel significant relief in 5 to 20 minutes. You don't need to use a lot.

The temperature will depend upon the covering material you are using. Please see your covering material's instructions for guidelines. Please note, for example, clear and transparent MonoKotes have very different temp needs than opagues or flats. You will want to utilize an incidence meter to determine the washout of the wing of your model. To do so, set the incidence meter on the root of the wing, and read the angle of attack of the root. Write this down.
